[nabs-l] Tips for soon-to-be grads who are looking for work

[Ashley Bramlett]

Justin,
That's right. My professors have written excellent letters of reference for 
internships.
I'll also add to keep in touch with those professors and thank them for 
writing a letter of reference.
Its good to let them know you appreciate their extra help and keep in touch. 
Don't talk too much, but sending an email ocasionally or stopping by their 
office hours even if you are no longer in their class is a good idea. My 
business writing professor was instrumental in helping me get a government 
security clearance because I needed some in person references and he took 
the time to talk to the investigator.

Along with this, if you have good rapport with an advisor or other staff 
member, these people can be good references too.

Ashley

Your major will dictate some of what you do.  Use your campous resources,
but also ask your professors or any of the places where you did an
internship or worked in the field during your college career.  If you were
unable to get an internship, then your professors will be a good resource.

Good evening all,
As a soon-to-be grad from college in December, I'm starting to put serious
thoughts into what I need to do in hopes I'll be able to find work. I'm
planning on using my career center, job fairs on campus or networking to
find possible employment opportunities.

For those who are working: what tips could you offer blind students who are
looking for work? Are there parts of the process you wish you did
differently? Was blindness a big barrier to finding employment?
Thanks for any thoughts or advice.
